Human beings have been created in such a way that they cannot harbour within them both enmity and friendship at the same time (33: 4). A person who lives with a psyche of constant complaint will be bereft of a psyche of gratitude. Someone who lives with a sense of deprivation cannot at the same time feel like as if he has achieved something. The present psyche of Muslims is against the Creation Plan of God. God wants that people should have a glimpse of Paradise while in this very world, so that they can think of the real Paradise and seek it. But the present mentality of Muslims is a barrier to the development of such a character. One who thinks negatively will live in hatred and frustration. And a person whose mind is filled with hatred and frustration cannot live in the thoughts of a great blessing like Paradise. o Key To Success When work is done in a spirit of co-operation, co-ordination and blessed with an atmosphere of harmony in an organization, the sky is the limit in quantity and quality of production. It is unity then which is the true key to success. According to the Quran, the world of Paradise is similar to this present world. This means that people of faith should recognize Paradise by seeing and observing this world.
